Reflexology is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands of an individual. It is an alternative medicine involving application of pressure, stretching and movement to the feet and hands of an individual with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques to trigger corresponding parts of the body. Dr. Guy uses this technique to break up patterns of stress in other parts of the body, with a premise that such work affects the physical change to the body.
